This is bordering on the absurd.
We still haven't had a chance to dry out from Bonnie, Charley, Frances, or Gaston...and the rain from Hurricane Ivan has already started falling. And they're predicting this one will stall out in the southern Appalachians, which just so happens to be where I've currently set up shop. We've got at least a 40% chance of rain every day...

Well, the rain is FINALLY beginning to slack off. Good news, since we were well into our third straight day of Hurricane Frances-related downpours. As you might imagine, between Bonnie, Charley, Gaston, and now Frances, things have been a little...damp around here. The grass has turned into a spongy, squishy adventure to walk across, the sidewalks have turned dangerously slick, the normally-benign little creek that...

You must have had a good English teacher. 
I think adults can get equally as much, if not more from that story than children. I'm so glad I came back to it now.
Heh, I guess we in Cali here are lucky. The only things we've gotten from the storms, is abnormally warm, (nice) weather. I can't complain.
And my iggy likes it too. It usually never gets above the low 70's here.
I'll be sending good thoughts for you and your mom.

Hehe. I can understand why you're popular! Good luck with your tests! I didn't know you were a bio major.

Well, it's official: I'm in Spartanburg. Though everything else remains pretty indefinite: I still don't have permanent housing, a job, or any real friends to speak of. Well, except for Yuliya of course, but convincing her to do anything not school- or home-related is like trying to convince a Republican to vote against Bush: good luck with that.

Thank you for posting those points. I think this is one of those elections where I'm hard pressed to do my research thoroughly and vote for whom I honestly think would be a good leader, not just vote for the lesser of two evils. 
No, I'm not actively involved with Scales n' Tails, but rather than members buying me things off my wishlist, I'd rather the money go to them instead. Seeing abandoned, abused, or sick iggys makes me sad. Both of the igs I have now are rescues I've adopted.

'Cause I'm leaving TODAY!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's finally over. The "city" of Barnwell and everyone and everything associated with it can officially kiss my ass, because as of tomorrow I'll be kickin' it Sparkletown-style.
And not a minute...

I guess I am "tanner" as you put it....I went to Ocean City, Maryland about two weeks ago and spent 3/4 of my time either outside in the sun or inside listening to a band of some sort (since I'm officially legal now!! oh yay!!)
I will definitely talk with you later - right now I have about a billion things to do before school starts next week! and then I will have even less time to do anything!

From my friend Susan:
Hi, Sweetie -
How are you doing these days?
I have a favor to ask of you. I am working on a detailed, positive vision of the future... let's say about 50 - 100 years from now.
In other words, I'm trying to envision the very best the world could be if we suddenly begin to do everything exactly right!
So,...

Yeah, I know. No updates since July. Well, get used to it: I'm officially a USC-Upstate student now. No, really! The fees are paid, the classes are signed up for...all I've got to do now is show up and move into my broom closet...er, 'multipurpose room.' It happens when you wait until the last possible minute to sign up for everything: now there's a waiting...

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking a Limo is too cliche though. But a dozen red roses isn't!
I'd comment on your politcal rants but I don't kow anything about US poitics.
And is that a Toronto Maple Leafs hat you're wearing in your picture?

Oh, crap.
I FINALLY got the new power supply to my laptop delivered via FedEx this afternoon, and I'm all stoked. I'm finally going to get to talk to my friends again, update my long-neglected journal, take my time checking my e-mail, yadda yadda yadda....

So I'm sitting here, watching election returns on WIS channel 10. We had a primary for Fritz Hollings's soon-to-be-vacated Senate seat today and, predictably, our former Governor, "Uncle Dave" Beasley, has a narrow lead on Rep. Jim DeMint on the Republican side, but not enough of a lead to avoid a runoff. On the Democratic side, our former superintendent of education Inez Tenenbaum has steamrolled...

Yeah, yeah, I know. Two entries for the entire month of May. I suck, I know, but I'm tired of making excuses every time, too. So if you don't see any more updates until, say, late July, just know that I'm still stuck in my dead-end job as a tire salesman; I still don't know where I'm going to be in August; my parents are...

awww....you are entirely too sweet
I hope your mom will be okay! I've heard that gallstones and such are awful, although I've never had personal experiences, I have heard people express their extreme dislike of them.....
I hope you are enjoying my pictures...I'm so nervous to apply, worried that I won't be what they're looking for...but maybe if they reject me again it will be because of the quality of the pictures (even though they are good quality, just the light situation like you said before)...not the subject of them (I hope!)
have a great week! I'll talk to you later
btw...someone wrote in my journal that I resemble an english model named Jordan (her pic is somewhere in my journal, or atleast the link is)...I've never been told that I resemble a model

OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR JOHN KERRY
Dear Senator Kerry:
I've been active in grassroots Democratic politics for several years now, and it seems to me that this year could prove to be a turning point for the Party. While we, the rank-and-file Party members, are fired up about getting rid of the Texas Terror, there seems to be somewhat tepid support for you personally. And...

awww.....thank you so much for going through all my photos (I can only imagine how painstakingly difficult it was ;o) ).....I do understand alot of the comments you made (lighting especially) and hopefully for the appy pics missy and her team can look past that, then I can work on the position of the lights for an actual set
I'm kicking myself about the smiling thing too....I know I should have smiled, I was just never sure when he would be taking pictures so I just kind of kept the same face for most of it.....they would have looked much better if I had smiled though.....
definitely let me know which ones are your favorites (doesn't have to be three - a top ten list would be super duper)....cause I definitely have some favorites (those ones where I look at them and go "now THAT is pretty darn awesome") but I'm hesitant to send them until I can get another opinion
well, I'm gonna head to bed now....been a long day/week and my body is going to beat me up for days afterward! thank you again so very very much for going through all 241 of my pictures!!! I just hope they are good enough to get me past the first stage....
